"NEW" Race to Sub-30!

[Alcuber]

OH:

Average: 1:10.67

1:00.06, 1:15.35, 1:06.03, 1:13.91, 1:13.70, 1:12.41, 1:18.21, 1:07.23, (1:00.01), 1:05.86, (1:21.47), 1:13.97

Two 1:00.0x singles This average was kinda fail but PB by exactly 1 second

 

[Mike Hughey]

For me, its more like 13 seconds. Many of my fingertricks don't work on 4x4... so it slows me down a lot.

One thing I've always done is to avoid wide turns in OLLs and PLLs. I pretty much never do them. That means some of my algs are less than optimal for 3x3x3, but as a result, they all work pretty well on bigger cubes. The multislice algs work especially well on big cubes. For instance, my favorite H perm, which is really fast on big cubes (I actually do the more common M-slice H perm on 3x3x3, but I use this one on bigger cubes): R L U2 R' L' y' R' L' U2 R L. My G perms are particularly bad on 3x3x3, but work quite well on big cubes, and aren't bad one-handed. It's funny - when people see me do a G perm on a 3x3x3, they always wrinkle their face in disgust and say, "What was that?" But when they see me do the same G perm on a 7x7x7 or one-handed, they look amazed and say, "That's really cool - what was that?"

I have some nice G-perms that works really well on BigCubes, but I won't share!

I guess this is good considering I just learned the method 30 minutes ago.

1:04.47, 2:17.32, 1:23.19, 1:56.46, 1:23.37, 1:23.17, 1:18.77, 1:35.98, 1:10.74, 51.78, 2:01.03, 1:35.53=1:29.27

A couple seconds faster than last week, but I have more consistency. I didn't start out too well, but after getting warmed up, I was in the 34-35 second range. I think I'll do some warm up solves before starting next week.

 

[stoic]

I think I'll do some warm up solves before starting next week.

I generally do 15 warm-up solves before tackling this every week. I used to do 12 but found it wasn't quite enough...?!?
Not that it did me a lot of good this week mind you...

Please.

Sorry, I missed this earlier - I didn't mean to ignore you. But perhaps I overrepresented them. I'm sure people who are good at big cubes would hate them - they're really not that good any way you look at them, but they work much better on big cubes relatively speaking than they do on small cubes. They're just really old ones taken from speedcubing.com. This one:
R' L' U2 R L y' R U' L U2 R' U L' U'
and it's inverse, mirror, and mirror inverse. The regrips are pretty bad, but the regrips don't affect the overall time as a percentage as much on big cubes as they do on small ones, so they work pretty well comparatively. The multislice thing works well on big cubes because it's fairly easy to turn the two outside slices opposite directions at the same time while leaving the middle layers alone, almost no matter what size the cube might be. They work as well on a 7x7x7 as on a 4x4x4.

.... perhaps I overrepresented them.

I think I'll pass then. Right now I learning Square 1[sighted ] and Megaminx, so I don't need new algs. for old cubes right now. But thanks for sharing anyway.
